Chapter 128 A Critical Moment
About three minutes later, Wen Kexin weighed the pros and cons in her mind and mustered up the courage to walk over.
The gatekeeper stretched out his foot to block her way and asked seriously, "Are you selling or buying?"
Wen Kexin said calmly: "Sell and buy!"
The old man said in a businesslike tone, "Selling things for a dime!"
Wen Kexin immediately understood. She didn't notice the old man asking questions just now, she only saw the boy talking to the old man.
It was originally a simple matter, but I almost failed. If I hadn't mustered up the courage to come over, I would have continued to struggle with it.
She took out a dime from her pocket and handed it over with a flattering look. The old man took the money as if he saw nothing and quickly withdrew his foot.
Walking in, there is a long corridor.
She walked along the corridor and after a while she heard a noisy sound.
I continued walking forward and saw a half-open door in front of me. I opened it and found that it was a spacious and bright workshop with many people buying and selling things inside.
She was very happy and planned to take a quick look.
We soon discovered that there were not only grains for sale there, but also daily necessities, various cloths, vegetables, and chicken and duck eggs.
Vegetables and eggs are the most abundant in this season, and these things are also indispensable in the black market.
I didn't see any pork or other meat for sale.
Sure enough, meat is also in short supply here.
Forget about selling food; her backpack couldn't hold much food.
If you want to sell pork here, you have to use a scale. Her backpack is not big, so it would be difficult for her to take out both the scale and the meat.
I secretly regretted not preparing in advance and weighing the pork in the space and cutting it into small pieces.
He quickly thought of the white-striped chickens he had packed in his space. He could only carry two at most in his backpack, and each one cost five yuan, so he gave up the idea again.
His consciousness swept towards the shelf in the space, and his eyes stopped on the Shanghai brand men's and women's watches. He remembered that he had wanted to use watches as a return gift to the Wang family last time, but not only did it not happen, but so many things happened.
Stop! She quickly collected her thoughts and her eyes suddenly lit up. That’s it!
She didn't want to sell them one by one, and she didn't want to waste time here.
Looking around, I found a few people maintaining order in the black market. I found a young man who looked friendly and had a small black mole on the corner of his lip and whispered, "Comrade, I have some goods in my hand. Do you want to take them?"
The young man looked her up and down. She was dressed very ordinary and her appearance would be hard to find in a crowd.
He patiently explained: "If you have any goods, just come in and pay ten cents, and you can sell them here."
"I paid ten cents when I entered, but my goods are quite expensive. I have other things to do later, so I don't have time to waste here."
The young man asked curiously: "What goods?"
“Two pairs of Shanghai brand mechanical watches!”
The young man was stunned for a moment. Everyone in this day and age knew that watches were the hard currency among the four major items, and most people couldn't find a ticket to buy one.
Not only does this girl have it, but she has two pairs?
real? Fake?
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be lying, he quickly reacted and said, "Follow me!"
Wen Kexin followed him to the room next to the workshop.
There was only a fat, kind-looking young man in the room.
The young man with a mole on his lip whispered a few words respectfully in the fat man's ear, and the fat man's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Girl, show me your goods."
Wen Kexin took out two exquisitely packed wooden boxes from her bag. She opened them and found velvet lining inside. On the lining was a brand new Shanghai brand mechanical watch.
It looks high-end, grand and classy.
The fat man picked up a watch and examined it carefully and asked, "How much do you plan to sell it for?"
Last time, Wen Kexin went to the department store and saw that couple watches that looked the same were priced at 170 yuan each, and a watch ticket was 30 yuan.
At this moment, she said confidently: "No need for tickets, both men's and women's are 190 yuan."
The fat man obviously knew the prices in the department store. He looked at her with a playful look and said, "One hundred and seventy-five for each watch. I'll take them all for three hundred and fifty for a pair!"
Wen Kexin thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay!"
She took the thick 700 yuan bill and put it into the space. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard the fat man say in a friendly manner: "Girl, if you have any good things in the future, just send them to me. I am a person of absolute integrity."
She agreed casually, "Okay!"
In fact, she muttered to herself: The fat man is indeed honest, but unfortunately his plan is doomed to fail. She estimated that she would not come to this city again within two years.
She was about to leave the black market the same way she came. The fat man signaled to the young man with a black mole on his chin, and the young man who brought her in said attentively, "Girl, is this your first time here? I'll take you out the back door."
"good!"
Wen Kexin nodded slightly and followed the other party to the back door.
Suddenly, a shrill whistle sounded from the front, and someone ran in and said anxiously, "Second brother, the people from the G Committee have blocked the front and back doors and are rushing in to arrest people."
It turns out that this young man is the second in command!
When Wen Kexin thought of the danger she was facing, she suddenly felt bitter in her heart. What she feared was bound to come true.
The young man called the second brother suddenly changed his expression and said, "Sister. Come with me!"
Wen Kexin knew that the situation was not good, and she panicked and immediately ran forward after the other party.
I muttered to myself: This kid should take me to the third way.
In the blink of an eye, everyone who was trading in the factory also got the news, and many of them ran out frantically.
A few people with quick legs quickly caught up with them.
No one wants to be caught by the G Committee.
Not to mention that you will be embarrassed, but even your family will be dragged down.
The narrow road was suddenly crowded with people.
It’s not that Wen Kexin can’t run fast, but she deliberately slowed down her pace.
As the saying goes, you can only fish in troubled waters!
She followed the man called Second Brother, fearing that those people wearing armbands would suddenly appear from the opposite side.
It is safer to hide in a crowd or enter the space in a deserted place.
So, when she heard the noise of footsteps coming from behind, she found out that they were all people buying and selling things.
He was suddenly overjoyed and blended into the crowd.
Suddenly, he realized that he recognized one of the young men, and he was the one who had unintentionally led him the way.
The thin boy's face was covered with sweat, perhaps because he ran too fast or was nervous.
He was holding a cloth bag in his hand, which looked to contain more than ten pounds of food.
As he ran, he reluctantly threw the cloth bag into the corner and continued running forward.
The people around him followed suit and threw their things away out of anxiety.
There are just too many people around.
Wen Kexin slowed down her steps a little and was suddenly pushed by someone. She fell on the cloth bag that the boy had just thrown away, as well as other messy things.
She looked around and saw people everywhere. She didn't know where the young man with the mole on his chin had gone.
The young man who led the way also disappeared.
Only more panicked strangers swarmed in.
No one noticed her fall, and no one helped her up.
She was overjoyed and decisively put the bag and messy things under her body into the space, and was about to hide in the space.
At the critical moment, she suddenly felt someone grabbing her arm tightly.
I was suddenly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
My mind was racing, wondering who was looking for trouble?
Did the other person see that thing below her knees disappeared?
He looked nervously at the person who was pulling him and found that it was the fat man with whom he had just traded.
The fat man whispered anxiously, "Girl, come with me?"
Wen Kexin muttered to herself: Didn’t the fat guy notice anything? Are you just trying to help me because I'm a big customer?
